A disaster 'larger than any in world history' is coming for California. It's not an earthquake.

[DigitalDrifter]

The next scare, or coming soon to a California neighborhood near you?

"Megadrought" may be the main weather concern across the West right now amid the constant threat of wildfires and earthquakes. But a new study warns another crisis is looming in California: "Megafloods."

Climate change is increasing the risk of future floods that could submerge multiple cities and displace millions of people across California, according to a new study released Friday.

It says that an extreme month-long storm could bring feet of rain – in some places, more than 100 inches – to hundreds of miles of California. Similarly unrelenting storms have happened in the past, before the region became home to tens-of-millions of people.

Show us the water. Then I will believe.

Did you read the cited article, DD? It's rather amusing. After painting this doomsday scenario and declaring it's due to climate change...they slip up and say that it's happened in the past...long before millions of Californians were living there! So let that sink in, Kiddies! According to them it's due to "climate change" yet it happened before the world was so crowded? That leads me to believe that climate change occurs naturally and always has!

Around 9K years ago there was a mega drought all across the North America. It was caused by weather changes due to the receeding ice age. Dumping fresh water into the Atlantic and changing ocean currents. It lasted for 800 years. Very very dry across most of present day USA. Humans survived it.

This is just a mini drought. It is cyclical.

Why would tens of millions people want to live in a desert anyhow? Especially one run by stupid woke Democrats and full of Illegals, Moon Bats and queers?

 

[whitehall]

California is a freaking desert. What did they expect when they damned up the Colorado river and cut off water to the Arizona Indians? The population increased and the demand increased and the water supply went down. Duh? Did the left coast idiots ever consider salinization plants used in other 3rd world countries?

Oh goodie, more water for the rest of us!

Here's me trying to put on my politically correct sad face:

Ssshhhhh! Let them all move there.
That oughtta do it.

 

[1srelluc]

The only downside I see is the leftist pukes moving to where the water is.....But hey you have to be a special kind of retarded to act as they do.

Why just the other day they are putting on November's ballot a scheme to require hotel owners to give the homeless a room and report when one becomes available.

Fuckin' clown world.

Los Angeles voters to decide if hotels will be forced to house the homeless despite safety concerns

YOU MUST FEAR THIS!

 

[MisterBeale]

Honestly though? This whole AGW crap is unfalsifiable woo. It can't be proved that it is caused by people, since they have records that it all happened before. . . ???


The very fact that they know this did happen before, should lead intelligent folks to understand what is going on.

Real science? Folks can create experiments to show a hypothesis is falsifiable. But these sensational headlinse? Blaming it all on our ciziliation?. No matter what the issue, it is all the fault of "humans."

Science as Falsification​

The following excerpt was originally published in Conjectures and Refutations (1963).

by Karl R. Popper​

Sir Karl Popper "Science as Falsification," 1963

" . . . . These considerations led me in the winter of 1919-20 to conclusions which I may now reformulate as follows.

​

1. It is easy to obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every theory — if we look for confirmations.
   
   ​
2. Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky predictions; that is to say, if, unenlightened by the theory in question, we should have expected an event which was incompatible with the theory — an event which would have refuted the theory.
   
   ​
3. Every "good" scientific theory is a prohibition: it forbids certain things to happen. The more a theory forbids, the better it is.
   
   ​
4. A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.
   
   ​
5. Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it. Testability is falsifiability; but there are degrees of testability: some theories are more testable, more exposed to refutation, than others; they take, as it were, greater risks.
   
   ​
6. Confirming evidence should not count except when it is the result of a genuine test of the theory; and this means that it can be presented as a serious but unsuccessful attempt to falsify the theory. (I now speak in such cases of "corroborating evidence.")
   
   ​
7. Some genuinely testable theories, when found to be false, are still upheld by their admirers — for example by introducing ad hoc some auxiliary assumption, or by reinterpreting the theory ad hoc in such a way that it escapes refutation. Such a procedure is always possible, but it rescues the theory from refutation only at the price of destroying, or at least lowering, its scientific status. (I later described such a rescuing operation as a "conventionalist twist" or a "conventionalist stratagem.")

One can sum up all this by saying that the criterion of the scientific status of a theory is its falsifiability, or refutability, or testability. . . . "​

"Karl Popper famously said, "A theory that explains everything explains nothing." So what do you make of the theory that catastrophic manmade CO2-driven "climate change" can account for harsher winters and lighter winters, more snow and less snow, droughts and floods, more hurricanes and less hurricanes, more rain and less rain, more malaria and less malaria, saltier seas and less salty seas, Antarctica ice melting and Antarctic ice gaining and dozens of other contradictions? Popper gave a name to "theories" like this: pseudoscience."
